This one's dedicated to Edward Woodward. My only real memory of him is from "The Wicker Man". A truly great performance. May he burn in peace :) Yet again, I've no idea if this tune will work on whistle:
"Sumer Is Icumen In" is easily my oldest tune so far referenced. Said to be composed by John of Fornsete, and dated to around 1260. I hope it works!

An Acre of Land
Time travel's possible! For instant transportation into another age, press play:
"An Acre of Land" is one of the many English folk songs that Ralph Vaughan Williams put down in writing. Good man! This recording dates from 1928, I think. I wonder how different it sounded in 1904 when first sung to the composer by Frank Bailey?
